title = "{"}She has many... cat?{"} : on-line processing of L2 morphophonology by Mandarin learners of English",
abstract = "The current study examined on-line processing of second language (L2) morphophonology by Mandarin learners of English, as compared to native English listeners, in a cognitively demanding self-paced listening task. Participants' listening times (LTs) to target singular and plural nouns that varied in phonological complexity and grammaticality were measured and analysed. The phonological representation of the targets was revealed to influence L2 listeners' processing speed the most, while morphological plurality and grammaticality did not seem to modulate LT in native or L2 participants. Thus, listeners appeared to disregard grammatical violations in favour of utterance comprehension.",
